Anyone know of someone that makes nice custom shooting benches for sighting in rifles and just overall fun rifle shooting to put on my ranch? I am tired of portable tables and want something permanent and even put the leg posts in the ground. I want something that is good and not the cheap types in stores.

I know you mentioned something that goes into the ground but I made this one in about 4 hours and is fantastic. Very stable and we've used it, left outside, going on four years now.

I am currently trying to track down a big spool to make one like this. Mine will be set on pavers and then we will weld up a little shaded area out of some leftover pipe and rectangular tubing with an R-panel roof.

This one (with website on the bench) was made for us by a guy down in San Antonio.

I saw some very nice looking metal ones for sale at Dilley Feed and Grain. Yes, in Dilley.

I am looking at shooting benches already built and prefer wood since cheaper so if anyone knows someone to build a nice one for me then chime in. My ranch is in the hill country out from San Antonio.

I made one like this. I could have welded a 1500 lb one out of I beam I have already but I decided a good heavy wood was already overkill. Not sure what mine weights but I had to move it with pallet forks. It hasn't moved in 5 years. If you want it custom, paint it and scratch your initials on it.

Does not have to be custom, the wood one just shown is fine but just need someone to build it, I am older Ag class of '80 and can't do lots of labor type work with my back issues.

I'm in San Antonio and wouldn't mind helping out. Shoot me an email. My email is in my profile.

I made something very similar to that a decade or so back and it's still going strong

I am open to any type, that type shown looks good, but I just need someone to build it or purchase one somewhere already built. I agree does not have to go into the ground if solid and does not move or shake with weight, light ones need extra weight to keep steady.

Where is your ranch?

My ranch is in Bandera County south of Kerrville, I live in Boerne. So anyone that wants to build a good shooting bench for me that is in the general San Antonio area, let me know. Lots of plans out there on various sites, I have good set of plans as well but I want it built good.

Understood. If it was closer to me in North Texas I'd be happy to build you one.

There was a good thread about a poster that built a monstrosity on his back porch. That thing was cool and will probably be there long after the house is gone.

We built one pouring a 4" slab of concrete and when well cured set it on top of three railroad ties sunk 3' deep. Pretty durable.

Don't own one, just came across it a couple years back. Made in Hondo.

Do you recall the pricing on this one?

Just FYI, this is the exact one I built. Easy, didn't cost too much, and it's been a nice bench for many years.

The OP mentioned back problems so this would need to be built for him. I will say that three people can probably move this but it is heavy and awkward with the center of gravity and balance points.

As built, it fits me very well at 6'1" and my 15 year old son shoots very comfortably on it and he is 5'9" ish.

Built the same one 3 years ago near Comstock. Might last forever in that climate. It's been great.
